GRANT APPLICATION

Biberstein Social Action Fund

12th Annual Call for Proposals

Applications due: October 9, 2015

Grants announced: December 2015

Nonprofit 501(c)3 organizations that serve Yolo County residents are invited to submit applications to the Biberstein Social Action Fund for grants to address poverty, discrimination, abuse and neglect issues. The Fund was established in 2002 by the Board of Directors of Congregation Bet Haverim, Jewish Fellowship of Davis, to honor Ernie and Hannah Biberstein, longtime residents of Davis who have devoted much of their lives to community service and social justice issues.

While special consideration is given to new and/or innovative projects, prior recipients are welcome to reapply. We prefer not to fund on-going organizational overhead expenses. Grants ranging from $500 to $2,000 will be awarded. A committee of Bet Haverim congregants and Rabbi Greg Wolfe will review grant proposals. They should be emailed by October 9, 2015 to:

If you are unable to email your proposal, or have questions, please contact the committee at or call Congregation Bet Haverim at 530-758-0842.

Awardees should be prepared to make a brief, informal project presentation to religious school students at Congregation Bet Haverim in early 2016.
